PART 1: How to Earn Money Editing Islamic Scholar Videos (Step-by-Step Guide)
If you’re searching for a simple and halal way to earn money online, editing Islamic scholar lectures can be a golden opportunity — even if you don’t have any prior editing skills. With a basic internet connection and some free tools, you can transform short clips of scholars like Maulana Tariq Jameel or Dr. Israr Ahmed into viral content and start making $1000+/month.
Let’s explore this powerful step-by-step method.
Step 1: Select an Islamic Scholar to Focus On
To get started, choose a well-known Islamic scholar whose lectures are already popular online. This gives you content that already has built-in demand.
✅ Popular Scholars to Choose From:
- Maulana Tariq Jameel
- Dr. Israr Ahmed
- Mufti Menk
- Nouman Ali Khan
Focus on one scholar at first to build a consistent and targeted audience.
🎯 Step 2: Extract Reel Clips or Short Lectures
Once you’ve chosen a scholar, look for short videos or reels of their speeches on YouTube, Instagram, or Facebook.
When you find a clip you like:
- Copy the video URL
- Use this free audio downloader:
🔗 https://y2mate.nu/en-sDNs/
Choose “Audio only” and download the file in MP3 format.
💡 Tip: Short, emotional, or motivational moments work best on YouTube Shorts or Instagram Reels.
🎯 Step 3: Edit the Audio Using Moises.ai
You must modify the audio to avoid reuse detection and copyright issues. This is where the free online tool Moises.ai comes in.
Visit: 🔗 https://moises.ai/
Here’s how to edit the audio:
- Upload the MP3 you downloaded
- Use the “Speed” control to slightly speed up or slow down the voice
- Adjust the “Pitch” to make the voice deeper or higher
- You can also remove background noise or isolate the voice for a cleaner result
These subtle changes ensure your content feels fresh and avoid copyright claims.
🎯 Step 4: Create a Visual Template Using Canva
With your edited audio ready, the next step is to make an attractive video using Canva — a free drag-and-drop graphic design tool.
Go to: 🔗 https://canva.com/
What to include in your Islamic video:
- A spiritual background (mosque, Quran, nature, etc.)
- The scholar’s name in one corner for identity
- Optional: Subtitle quotes or translations for better viewer engagement
Upload your audio and synchronize it with your visuals. Then export it in 1080p quality.
Your Islamic short video is ready to post!
🎯 Step 5: Upload & Add Proper Credits
Before you publish the video to YouTube or other platforms, it’s essential to add proper credit and disclaimers.
✅ In your video description:
- Add the original video link (from where the clip was taken)
- Mention the scholar’s name and give credit to their official channel
- Include a line such as:
“This video is a remixed version of the original lecture by Dr. Israr Ahmed, shared under fair use for educational purposes.”
✅ Also, mention this clearly in your video:
- “All content belongs to the respective scholar. This is an educational re-edit for dawah and learning.”
This not only protects you legally, but also shows respect for the scholar’s work.
✅ Conclusion (Part 1 Summary):
With just 3 free tools — Y2Mate, Moises.ai, and Canva — you can start creating professional-looking Islamic lecture videos and earn money ethically. The entire process takes less than an hour per video once you get the hang of it.
PART 2: Monetize Islamic Lecture Videos and Build a Halal Passive Income Stream
In Part 1, we covered the exact steps to extract, edit, and create powerful Islamic videos using scholars like Maulana Tariq Jameel and Dr. Israr Ahmed. Now in Part 2, let’s explore how to turn those videos into a consistent stream of income through YouTube and other platforms — even if you’re just getting started.
💸 Step 6: Start a YouTube Channel Focused on Islamic Clips
Now that your videos are ready, it’s time to create a dedicated YouTube channel focused only on Islamic motivational or educational content.
✅ Channel Optimization Tips:
- Use a relevant name like “Islamic Wisdom Daily” or “Tariq Jameel Reminders”
- Add a professional banner (create one with Canva)
- Write a description that clearly explains your content’s purpose (e.g., “Sharing Islamic wisdom through short, powerful clips for daily motivation.”)
Post consistently — even 2-3 shorts per week can grow your channel over time.
📈 Step 7: How to Get Monetized on YouTube (Even with Reused Content)
To enable YouTube monetization, you must meet the following:
- 1,000 subscribers
- 4,000 watch hours (in the last 12 months) or 10 million Shorts views in 90 days
- Follow YouTube’s monetization policies
But here’s the catch: Reused content is not eligible unless you add value and show transformation.
✅ To avoid this issue:
- Add captions or subtitles
- Use your own video templates
- Edit the audio (as explained in Part 1)
- Mention and credit the original scholar clearly
- Add an intro/outro with your branding or a short reminder
This shows YouTube that your videos are unique and educational, not simply copied.
🧠 Step 8: Use Islamic Niches That Go Viral
There are many sub-niches within Islamic content that attract loyal audiences. Mixing these with scholar lectures can supercharge your reach.
🔥 Trending Islamic Niches:
- Islamic motivation (e.g., patience, sabr, trust in Allah)
- End-time signs (Qayamat, Dajjal, etc.)
- Ramadan and Eid reminders
- Islamic marriage advice
- Jannah and Jahannam clips
- Prophetic stories (Hadith-based)
Use scholar clips that match these topics, add relevant titles and thumbnails, and you’ll start getting viral reach organically.
📌 Step 9: Titles, Descriptions & Hashtags for SEO
Writing optimized titles and descriptions is crucial for ranking.
📝 Title Examples:
- “Maulana Tariq Jameel’s Powerful Advice That Will Touch Your Heart”
- “Dr. Israr Ahmed Explains Why We Are Lost Spiritually – Must Watch”
- “Top 5 Islamic Reminders for a Peaceful Life – Scholar Edition”
💡 Step 10: Grow Your Income with These Extra Tips
Once your channel starts getting traction, here are additional ways to scale your income:
💰 1. Sponsored Islamic Products
Promote prayer mats, Islamic books, or Quran apps via affiliate links.
💰 2. Facebook Reels & Instagram
Repurpose your YouTube videos for Reels and earn through the Meta Creator program.
💰 3. Launch a Newsletter or Blog
Collect emails from your viewers and send them Islamic tips or affiliate offers.
💰 4. Sell Your Video Templates or Editing Services
Offer your services to other channels on Fiverr or Upwork once you gain experience.
If you want to grow your channel quickly, follow these steps.
1️⃣ Create Videos Longer Than 20 Minutes
Many people assume short videos are better, but for YouTube monetization and discoverability, long-form content (20+ minutes) performs better. Longer videos increase watch time, which is a key ranking signal for YouTube’s algorithm. If your content retains viewers, YouTube will push it to more people — especially for educational Islamic content.
2️⃣ Target One Scholar Only
One major mistake new creators make is targeting multiple Islamic scholars at once. Instead, pick one scholar like Dr. Israr Ahmed or Maulana Tariq Jameel, and build your entire channel around their content. This builds a loyal audience that trusts your niche, and YouTube will better understand your content theme — which increases reach.
3️⃣ Focus Heavily on the Thumbnail
Thumbnails are everything. Even if your video is great, it won’t get clicked without a strong thumbnail. Use bold text, a cinematic style, and emotionally engaging visuals — like a powerful expression or a trending quote from the scholar. The more clickable your thumbnail is, the more views (and income) you’ll get.
4️⃣ Craft an Irresistible Title
A powerful title can make all the difference. Your title should include:
- Emotional triggers (e.g., “shocking,” “life-changing”)
- Relevant keywords (e.g., “Tariq Jameel on marriage,” “Israr Ahmed Dajjal explanation”)
- Capitalized phrases for emphasis
For example:
👉 “Tariq Jameel’s Most Emotional Advice on Marriage – You’ll Cry!”
5️⃣ Always Use Trending Statements
To grow fast, stay on top of trending Islamic topics. Whenever a scholar gives a viral or newsworthy statement, be the first to extract, edit, and post it. People search for those topics, and your video will appear in results — bringing in instant traffic and possible virality.
📌 Final Tip
Combine these five tips with the tools and methods we explained earlier, and you’ll have everything you need to grow fast, stay ethical, and earn halal income from YouTube.
